Affordability and security C1 – Rent affordability

C1-5

Anchor rents over 35,000 homes at social rent levels, providing decent affordable homes for older people. We also provide leasehold and shared ownership properties, often allowing residents to downsize in later life to more affordable housing. Our revised development programme continues our commitment to mixed tenures as well as providing more social and affordable homes. We provide a broad range of care services with an average 50/50 split between publicy funded services and private fee payers.
